Hard as it is to believe, the Peter Files Blog of Comedy has been, according to the video below, attacked and singled out on a variety of wild charges that we can’t even believe he believes are true so are not going to dignify them with a response.

However, if Beck comes after someone as silly as us you might well ask, could you be next? Click on the link here to come back to the blog if this has been mailed to you, then click on the video link below.

What an outrageous video! You can see why we couldn’t let it go by without comment.

Don’t Miss The Gaelic Park Players Production of The Patrick Pearse Motel by Irish playwright Hugh Leonard: April 9 – 11, 16 – 18, 23 – 25, 2010

There are few South Side actors whose work I recommend unreservedly, but this production includes one of them in the likes of Marty Donovan who I have had the pleasure of working with onstage myself and witnessing his raw talent, attention to his craft, his ready wit, his incredible imagination, humor and all around ability to move an audience to laugh, cry and cheer.

In the context of a Hugh Leonard play, his efforts are not to be missed. While you may be more familiar with Leonard’s Da or A Life, I urge you to take a chance to see this production of The Patrick Pearse Motel while you can, and to get seats while you can. Opening night offers two for one tickets a rare theater buy.

Here’s what the company says about the play and the production:

The Patrick Pearse Motel  by Hugh Leonard

An upwardly mobile couple living in an upscale Dublin suburb, and their business partners are showing what real patriotism is all about-selling it in the form of hotels. Each room in the Patrick Pearse Motel is decorated with a portrait of a national hero. Unbeknown to her doting husband, the lady of the house is plotting a tryst with an old flame, a television commentator famed for his rudeness. Soon the stage is filled with mistaken identities, dropped trousers, a flimsy negligee and false accusations. On a rainy night at The Patrick Pearse Motel, the characters crisscross paths, threaten one another with a shillelagh and hide in convenient closets. An hysterical bedroom farce that will have you wondering how will all of this turn out and who will get out alive?

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica – where do they go?

Wonder no more!!!

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.

The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.

The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:

“Freeze a jolly good fellow.” Then they kick him in the ice hole….

You really didn’t believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?

As a matter of fact, you might pause to wonder why the words “Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica?” didn’t give you pause to think further?

I mean, how many of us actually tool down to Antarctica for any reason, let alone wonder why polar bears aren’t doing their jobs…

(If you were disturbed at all by that last comment, just right-click on the two highlighted links and you will feel lots better. Or lots more foolish depending on what that reveals about your cold weather animal habitat lore knowledge.)

This joke submitted by my friend Mary M.

Take care, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you won’t be freaked out by this, but my site meter keeps a little info on who comes to visit and right now in the wee hours of the morning its someone at a school I considered going to, the Katholieke Universiteit of Leuven.

But they had NO scholarships for Americans then and I couldn’t put together a master’s degree program funding without it.

So hurray to you, whomever you are, student or faculty!

Happy Thanksgiving for all the Americans who read my blog! Happy “Why Not Try Turkey with Cranberry Sauce Day” for the rest of the world.

(Vegans who haven’t should really try cranberry sauce and orange-cranberry relish. You have to make the latter yourself usually.)

Yes that’s right! That F|Share button in blue you see is the perfect way to share a blog page here you like with your friends.

Best news of all. You can to through the hundreds of posts in our archives to find something special your friends might like or hate, or scroll down my sidebar on the right to see some links I put in for some of my favorites.

While I’m add it. If you go down to the next article you will see my post about why I’ve been gone so long. Well part of the reason. The rotator cuff injury was just about as awful as I described it.

Worse, they changed my pain medicine to something that gave me reactions as if I had H1N1, the black plague, stomach rot, or the giant weasel of Gort in my tummy. (I put that one in for my fan(s?) from Louth who keep logging in so faithfully. I don’t know who you are, but thanks, thanks, thanks for checking back all the time.

I hope to be better at this.

In truth, I’ve been slacking off a bit because of Facebook. With out putting too fine a point on it, I’m in that slightly older group that seems to be the fastest growing demographic for them.

That means that in the last year, several hundred friends I thought I’d never see or hear from again started writing to me, sharing baby pictures, life stories, all that wonderful stuff. So, I’ve been writing so much there that I have had less time to write comedy. But my New Year’s resolution is not only to write more but to upload more videos now that I have a new iPhone 3Gs that has a built in movie camera which is perfect for blog level (ie., small) movies.

That means lots of laughs because all I have to do is show up to get a laugh!!!

Last. I have some really sick friends right now. Please, if you are one of those that pray, pray for them. I won’t list them because I’d then have to update this and I’m too lazy to do that. Except for Emily who is beautiful and young and very, very ill. But she can and will make it, but the prayers of millions of my readers would help a lot.

Of course, I don’t have millions of readers, but if you share one page, share this one asking for prayers for Emily. When it’s not needed I will take it down. Good thoughts and well wishes are also welcome.

OK, this is really the laaast thing. I’ve gotten a few nice comments from other humor webmasters asking me if I wouldn’t mind promoting their site:

WWW.reallynaughtywordsthatdonotgoonafamilysafebloginthesitename.com

Sorry. This I try to keep this site safe for home and work. So, if your website has bad words in the title, I may visit it and leave you a message, but I won’t be adding your comment to my blog. Not when the very NAME of your blog isn’t funny.

I visit the sites I get ads for in comments on an older machine. If it starts to act up right away I know your site is bad news. Sometimes I will let ads for places I think interesting through. Especially small, individual or close to it blogs like mine that feature fun clean humor. Then I place them in my sidebar if I really like them for others to find. Note: If you really, really, really want a blogger to feature you on his site, there’s no better way than featuring him first!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Oops. Joke needed.

Q: Waiter! How do you prepare your turkeys!
A: We don’t beat around the bush sir. We tell them flat out they are going to die.

Just in case you wondered whether we’ve fallen off a cliff or something: Just about.

It wasn’t quite that exciting, but if the words torn rotator cuff fill you with horror at the image of physical pain involved – you’re in the right ballpark.

We, that is I, haven’t been able to type for awhile. Makes doing a comedy blog hard. Still in the oochie, owie, yowie, oh mama stage too.

But I’ve stopped thumb sucking long enough to tell you that we should have some kind of content again soon.

Well today. Right now.

Q; How many people with torn rotator cuffs does it take to screw in a lightbulb.
A: Ow! Ow! Up? Nooooo!

Q: What’s a torn rotator cuff?
A: That tendon in the shoulder that helps your arm move everywhere? That’s the sucker. And when it gets torn, every time your arm tries to move anywhere… Owww. Owww. Owww. Owww.

Q: How long will it hurt?
A: Until the end of time. *Sob* Bleat. Moan.

Q: Not really?
A: No it just feels like forever. Now get out of my way I need stiff drink.
Q: You can’t have anything stiff to drink unless you want to wind up like Heath Ledger or Michael Jackson.

Q: What do Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson have in common?
A: They probably had torn shoulder rotator cuffs.
Q: Not really?
A: No it just felt like they were being skewered on a hot poker for months at a time. What do I know, I stopped making sense months ago. Owwww!

Q: Don’t they have medicine for that?
A: You believe in the tooth fairy don’t you?
Q: There is medicine for everything else isn’t there?
A: Most doctors think a lot of pain is good for you, keeps you conscious enough to pay their bills.

Q: What does having a torn rotator cuff make you feel like?
A: Like trying out a nice simple home amputation.

Q: Do you feel better after the operation?
A: Everyone feels better after a good amputation.

Q: No I mean the rotator cuff surgery.
A: No, you feel worse for a really long time, then you start to get a little better, like a snail on sleeping pills is faster. Till eventually, you feel as bad as when you went in for the surgery in the first place.

Q: Then finally you start to feel better!
A: I’ll let you know a year from now.

Q: When you are done will you be able to pitch for the Chicago White Sox?
A: Can’t fool me! Everyone knows that the only team that hires pitchers with actively torn rotator cuff is the Chicago Cubs.

Q: Is it a messy operation?
A: No, my doctor looked very clean afterwards I am told. I was also told that my surgery went well despite their finding a tear the size of the Grand Canyon. Truly, the operation itself was the best part. They just woke me up too soon, six months too soon.

Q; How is the physical therapy going?
A: Ever seen a late night horror film?

Q: Surely you are exaggerating.
A: OWW! OWW! Three Four. OWW OWW Seven Eight. My physical therapist is a nice guy who says its going well, I just have to be very patient. In fact, I’m going to be patient, a patient for months and months.

Q: If you knew it was going to be this bad, why did you have the operation?
A: They ALL LIED TO ME and said it wouldn’t be too bad. Liars! Liars! Pants on fire all over the region. What could I do, they told me it would be no fun but the alternative was chewing my arm off. I don’t think I taste that good.

Q: Any other benefits to the surgery?
A: A nice long juicy SCAR instead of the little holes they said would be there for arthroscopic surgery. I think I’m going to tell people I was in knife fight saving a teenage girl from a street gang when I got it. At least it is a nice straight scar. Good Doctor. Sit. Heel.

Q: Would you have the surgery again?
A: Yes. No way around it.

Q: Was all that whining even close to the truth?
A: Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever tear your rotator cuff.

Well I feel much better. If you are contemplating rotator cuff surgery you should know how much better you will feel when it is all fixed and you are back to normal. Really, they tell me this. Repeatedly, so it must be true. Sigh.

Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever tear your rotator cuff.

Here it is, an original Superman theme song parody lyric.

I wanted to post Susan Boyle but You Tube has cut off posting that on web sites. But you’ll find this both funny and very well sung too.
